Rewarding Monday

"Somebody's got a case of the Mondays!"

That's a line from Office Space that my friend, Jeff, teases me with when I'm feeling down.

I woke up Monday morning with a slight case, but relented later.

Around 9:30am, when I was at my day job, my boss from my second job called and said that one of our other receptionists had quit, and she needed my recommendation on hiring someone ASAP.

Well, being that I'd suggested months ago that we hire Robert's sister, Ashley, I immediately hung up and called Ashley. Everything went through, and she came to work with me last night to train.

Let me just say that I'm a HUGE fan of ACTUAL on the job training, instead of the "on the job training" we do at the beginning of the tax season. It's so much easier to teach that way. And she did AMAZING! I'm so excited to have her working with me.

Granted, it's a really crappy time to hire someone, because it's "peak," or, our busiest time of year, right now. But I think she'll be just fine.

I started feeling sick last night, and went home to lay down promptly, but I'm feeling a little better now. I had some tea and lots of fiber this morning, so I hope I can kick whatever it is that's trying to attack my immune system. :)
